Uncle Jack! What a guy! Known for his jokes, polkas, hardworking farm ethic,faith and an awesome rock collection,raising a great family, the best raspberries ,plus too much more. Always laughing and smiling and a warm hug. He knew and shared all his farm and garden secrets and knowledge. He will be missed but forever in my heart and memory! We still laugh over an incident with my daughter Melissa about 4 at the time, who used to go to "the farm" for babysitting, saying to my mother early one morning" Grandma hurry, I cant be late for milking!" Sincerest Sympathy to Ruth, Ken , Ray, Joy and Tom and all your families at this sad time. Prayers and Love, Dr. Charles and Cynthia Estelle
